I and my wife were returning to Chennai by road after a long 5-hour journey from Palani. Feeling extremely tired, we were looking for a decent place to stay when we reached Melmaruvathur. An auto driver recommended this property to us.
Upon arrival, a middle-aged man at the reception quoted ₹1300 for a room, although the online price showed ₹1000. After some negotiation, he agreed to ₹1100, and we were asked to transfer the amount via GPay to his number.
During this time, one of the hotel staff who entered seemed to be uncomfortably scanning both me and my wife from head to toe, which made us feel uneasy.
We finally checked in around 22:50Hrs but were told we must vacate the room by 6:00 AM and the room boy called us at 6 AM to vacate. No flexibility was offered, and we had no choice but to agree.
As an NRI with 13 years of travel experience, I’ve never encountered such an unpleasant and uncomfortable stay. The attitude of the staff and the overall experience were disappointing.
I would advise fellow travelers to consider these points carefully before booking this property. I am sharing the pictures for better understanding about the property, pathetic and unhygiene...

Read moreThe rooms were spacious and the beds were comfortable and it's very nearby temple, that's the only reason I see this place can be used but otherwise I would strongly recommend to avoid this lodge. Washroom and it's fixtures are the worst, if you open one tap, there won't be any water in other taps. The faucet doesn't work. The manager had warned us that hot water and TV is not working, but the same is not mentioned in the online booking sites or I'm not sure if they provide these kind of rooms for online booking. Having already paid the amount and we couldn't find any other lodging alternative we had to adjust with what was offered. A big surprise came in the morning when there was no water supply in any of the rooms and a very lethargic response from the manager made...
